More than 500 Bangladeshi-Americans have firmly rejected a letter issued by 12 Congressmen regarding Bangladesh and are demanding its immediate withdrawal to ensure a seamless democratic process in Bangladesh.
Leading the initiative, Syed Ali and Jay, residing in New York, have successfully gathered 509 signatures from the outraged Bangladeshi diaspora. They pointed out that the 12 Congress members failed to mention crucial information regarding criminal activities, terrorism acts, and minority oppression during the BNP-Jamaat coalition government in their letter.
The sudden and intense interest displayed by the 12 Congress members in matters concerning Bangladesh has raised concerns among the general population of Bangladesh, according to the organizers. They further emphasized that such actions by the Congressmen are unacceptable.
These sentiments were explicitly expressed in the application for signature collection, reflecting the deep concerns and reservations of the Bangladeshi-American community.
Syed Ali and Jay, as organizers of this significant effort, have planned to promptly submit the collected signatures in written form to President Joe Biden. They firmly believe that the voice of the Bangladeshi-American community deserves to be heard and taken into consideration at the highest levels of the United States government.
Furthermore, the signatures will also be delivered to the respective Congress members who authored the letter. This gesture highlights the significance of engaging in a fair and accurate assessment of the situation in Bangladesh and underscores the importance of addressing the concerns raised by the Bangladeshi-American community.
